The Chinese Chamber of Commerce was established in 1955 by a group of Chinese-American businessmen to promote and encourage the development of Chinese-American business community throughout the Greater Los Angeles area.

​

As an advocate for the Southern California Chinese business community, the Chamber carries strong influence on key legislative and regulatory issues affecting the Chinese-American and Greater Los Angeles business communities.

​

The Chamber also promotes cultural awareness to improve inter-ethnic relations by organizing events such as the Annual Lunar New Year Golden Dragon Parade, the Miss Los Angeles Chinatown Pageant and the Moon Festival Celebrations.

​

Today, the Chamber is comprised of several hundred individuals and corporations interested in business and social activities affecting the Chinese-American community in the Los Angeles area. The Chamber continues to play an important role in ensuring the economic vitality of the Chinese-American business community.
